yeah im a noob and i was hoping for a little help. i saw this thread and its a perfect start for me. but for this grow box...what strain do you think i should use the first time?

hey sounds like a great set up. I plan to make my own. just need to find out if my plant is a mother or father....
word to the wise though people concerning electrical work...
spend a few extra pennies and make sure you use wire nuts then wrap that beotch up with electrical tape....
and make sure all connections are outside the box. and put the connections in a separate box, called a J-box.
remember, you want to burn it when YOUR ready....

hell yea, thats badass
ticketmaster sucks at life lol
Hatebreed and The Black Dahlia Murder are comin, cant wait its gonna be a bloodbath

also whats the temp stay at in that box?

how much did the inline duct fan and carbon filter put you back,did you get them online?

and how much did you yeild off that plant

I'd say just grow some bagseed.
Their free so who cares if you mess up!
I'm gunna get a few bagseed grows under my belt before I switch to a known strain.

i was wondering, what kind of cfl lights were you using? and how many of each? during the veg state and the flowering state?

i was thinking of using 3cfl 6500k and 1cfl 2500k(warm white) for veg. and for flowering i would do 2clf 6500k (cool white) and 2 cfl 2500k (warm white)

This is incredible... im going to get my supplies soon, and put one of these in my closet ...

thats a good tutor. man!

pretty easy 2 get rid of the leaky light with weatherstripping if you have some patience to do it

Wow this is great im gonna use one of these for a lowryder grow and a tote for cloning thanks for the ideas!

It's all in the thread...what exactly were you referring to?

how did u make the carbon filter

I see lots of people have questions! Sorry for asking another! Or two!

I see the "CFLs". The swirly flouro bulbs... I have looked at them at Walmart, etc... Which actual bulb is it you are using? Is it soft white? or is it a plant bulb??? And are you using the same bulbs for flowering?

Good luck on the grow! Chow~

Look at the picture in post 3. They bulbs are a 3pack of 23watt soft white bulbs. I use them all the way through. Some say to use different lumen bulbs for different stages in the plant's life but I'm too cheap.
Hope this helps.
Check out my first grow from the box....it is harvested now....almost all smoked up

Bodom, You have been inspiring to me and others on this forum I'm sure. I've been lurking for a while... getting ideas, formulating plans, growing eyes in the back of my head...

My Question(s):
I bought a similar bathroom fixture but promptly returned it because of the safety warning of MAX 60W Globe Light per socket. #1 Do I disregard the bulb type they call for on the packaging (Globe PAR whatever)? #2 Do you think it would be safe to exceed the MAX Wattage warning if only by a bit? I wanted to run two 43W cfl's from each socket on the fixture. #3 Do Ijust bite the bullet and grab two fixtures? I also picked up from the Depot a "Tool Replacement Cord" rated 16 gauge - 13 Amp - 125V. #4 Are standard light sockets wired with 16 guage?

Thanks for any help Bodom... OR anyone else that might chime in. Cheers!

Well i would have just tried it...sat around for a while see if anything bad happened. I don't know if it would do anything but i think i've seen others in the forum do it.
For the cord....i just used an extension cord, just splice it.
I'm no handy man I just mess around with stuff, hoping for the best

Hey Bodom of children, preparing to be a first time grower, i just bought the exact growing materials as you, but i just had a few questions...

what size pot did you use?
approx. how many days did it take from seed to harvest?

thanks and awesome grow!

Thanks for the thread I hope you don't mind I made it into an FAQ for others to find easer as well.

If you go cheap you grow cheap. - Me

quote-While at Wal-Mart I also bought my CFLs; each is 26 actual watts (1700lumens). I will need 6 CFLs (156watts/10,200lumens) and these are the biggest you can fit in 22gallon tubs.
A 3 pack costs $7.58. I purchased two for $15.16 before tax.-Bodom Children Of, I went to walmart today and they had two different types of cfl's on the side of the ceramic base it read this

120vac60 hz390 FLE 26HT3/2/sw in which case the sw at the end means soft white and the other cfl's they had said the same thing except at the end instead of sw was D which stood for daylight which was confirmed by the description on the packaging lol damn im high, so my question is which ones did you use in your build Bodom Children Of? thanks for all the great info guys

after days of research i saw you tupper tub love made it save hundreds of dollers used larger tubs will post picture soon thenkyou cheaper than a photoron
or expensive lights way to go

thats pimpin man

How exactly do you make the carbon filter? Im a noob, so what is the carbon filter necessary for? and why not stick with the PVC pipe intake, or do you use both?

also how hot does it get in there?

how much will a single plant smell in there? are you talking the room will stink, the house will stink, the neighborhood will stink, etc. (i know that is extreme but you get the point).

also, those lights wont cause an electrical spike that would be suspicious, right? i am assuming NO logically considering the size and watts, but i have never done this and don't want to take chances... i already used my one "get out of jail free" card for herb..
